Author Guidelines

Submission Process

Manuscripts for Operational Research in Engineering Sciences: Theory and Applications should be submitted online at www.oresta.org. The submitting author, who is generally the corresponding author, is responsible for the manuscript during the submission and peer-review process. The submitting author must ensure that all eligible co-authors have been included in the author list and that they all have read and approved the submitted version of the manuscript. To submit your manuscript, register and log in to the submission page.

Accepted File Formats

Authors must use the Microsoft Word template to prepare their manuscript. Using the template file will substantially shorten the time to complete copy-editing and publication of accepted manuscripts. Accepted file formats are:

Microsoft Word: Manuscripts prepared in Microsoft Word must be converted into a single file before submission. When preparing manuscripts in Microsoft Word, the ORESTA template file must be used. Please insert your graphics (schemes, figures, etc.) in the main text after the paragraph of its first citation.

Supplementary files: May be any format, but it is recommended that you use common, non-proprietary formats where possible.

All necessary files have been uploaded:- Manuscript:

Include keywords;

All figures (include relevant captions);

All tables (including titles, description, footnotes);

Ensure all figure and table citations in the text match the files provided;

Indicate clearly if color should be used for any figures in print;

- Supplemental files (where applicable).

Reproducing Published Material from other Publishers

It is absolutely essential that authors obtain permission to reproduce any published material (figures, schemes, tables or any extract of a text) which does not fall into the public domain, or for which they do not hold the copyright. Permission should be requested by the authors from the copyrightholder (usually the Publisher, please refer to the imprint of the individual publications to identify the copyrightholder).

Permission is required for:

Your own works published by other Publishers and for which you did not retain copyright.

Substantial extracts from anyone's works or a series of works.

Use of Tables, Graphs, Charts, Schemes, and Artworks if they are unaltered or slightly modified.

Photographs for which you do not hold copyright.

Permission is not required for:

Reconstruction of your own table with data already published elsewhere. Please notice that in this case, you must cite the source of the data in the form of either "Data from..." or "Adapted from...".

Reasonably short quotes are considered fair use and therefore do not require permission.

Graphs, Charts, Schemes and Artworks that are completely redrawn by the authors and significantly changed beyond recognition do not require permission.

Obtaining Permission

In order to avoid unnecessary delays in the publication process, you should start obtaining permissions as early as possible. If in any doubt about the copyright, apply for permission. ORESTA cannot publish material from other publications without permission.

The copyright holder may give you instructions on the form of acknowledgment to be followed; otherwise follow the style: "Reproduced with permission from [author], [book/journal title]; published by [publisher], [year].' at the end of the caption of the Table, Figure or Scheme.
